Rhea's Rundown
This is a quick and easy salad that I threw together from leftovers one week. Sweet, juicy mango combines perfectly with rich, creamy avocado. Carrots and mushroom add some nice texture and variety. The dressing is a simple combination of soy sauce, olive oil, and a touch of toasted sesame oil. You can whisk it all together in a mixing bowl or shake it up in a plastic bottle. I love the saltiness of the soy sauce and I find that it enhances every component in the salad. I wasn’t able to get my hands on bean sprouts, but they would make a nice, crunchy addition. Even still, the cilantro and scallions were a magnificent finish to each bite. Just about anything can be added for protein, but I envision it with soy-ginger glazed salmon or shrimp.
